The Guilt of Wrongful Murder

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that the first son of Adam, Qabil, is responsible for the guilt of every wrongful murder committed.

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "The first son of Adam* takes a share of the guilt of every one who murders another wrongfully because he was the initiator of committing murder". Al-Bukhari and Muslim. * The son of Adam in the Hadith is said to be Qabil. Allah tells us about his story in Surat Al-Ma'idah (The Table spread with Food). Verses 27-31.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ليس من نفس تقتل ظلماً إلا كان على ابن آدم الأول كفل من دمها لأنه كان أول من سن القتل‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
